This is the last of the 8/9 games, and I think it could be an interesting one. I don't know a lot about UNLV, but I do know they gave San Diego State all they could handle a week ago so you know they've got some game. Illinois was 19-13 in a middle of the road Big Ten Conference and ends up with a 9-seed. OK, seems a bit high to me, but what do I know?
